Want

Your eyes
Your piercing glance
Cold but hot
Your thoughts imperceptible
Your mood indiscernible
Standing right beside me
you are so far away
I want to know your mind
I want to touch your soul
Everything about you intrigues me
but I know nothing
Share yourself with me
Let me crawl inside your head
Nervous and scared
I throw myself at you
Night after night
You haunt my dreams
You are my obsession
A flame that burns me to the core
Everything is uncertain
I have nothing but myself
I want nothing but you
